Ethernet device's MAC address changes (causing its device number to

Status in Debian:

Bug description:
After every reboot, my network device name changes: eth0, eth1, eth2,
... eth8 - yes it's the 9th boot into Ubuntu:-).
I found this Debian thread which is for the same issue. I have also seen
messages like this during boot time:
0000:00:07.0: Invalid Mac address detected: 87:84:65:f3:18:00
Please complain to your hardware vendor. Switching to a random MAC.
Not sure why this is happening, but it is probably also the reason I
need to enter the IP/Subnet/Gateway every time I boot into the system
(I'm using a static IP). Then I have to do "sudo
/etc/init.d/networking restart" to make it work. Pretty annoying.
